Letter: Quit electing greedy leaders

However, as long as the American people allow the greediest amongst us to run our country and control our government, poverty will continue to increase, and with it crime and civil unrest.

The gap between the rich and the rest of us will widen, and the future will more than likely revert to a feudalistic society where the few have almost total control over the many by controlling all the wealth and property.

We will be at continuous war over scarce resources because those at the top want ever more wealth for themselves and will profit from war they do not have to fight in, while the rest not only pay for these wars but will be the ones fighting and dying in them.

We need to quit electing leaders who are bought and paid for before they even take office, those same leaders who serve only their own self-interest and how much they can profit from it.
